- Welcome to Good Knit Kisses: Techniques and Tutorials.
Hi, I'm Kristen.
We're teaching techniques and tutorials
at Good Knit Kisses to help keep you in stitches.
Today's clip is from a longer video of a longer tutorial
that is a pattern.
We are going to shorten it down for you today
so click on the link in the description below
if you'd like more information or that full video tutorial.
Alright, lets begin.
Now we want to start at peg one in the back
and we're going to lift that peg, that stitch here, over
and to the top.
Now you don't have to move your loom.
I'm doing that just to show you on the video in one spot
so I'm lifting from peg one over to peg one.
So from the inside loom to the outside loom.
I'm going to continue doing that all the way around
and if it's easier, you can start on the backside here
and lift and place and lift and place
and go around.
You want to make sure you're going evenly around
and not, you're not adjusting it to one side or the other
so you can count out and make sure you are starting
out at the right spot on the opposite side.
You don't want it to scoot over one peg or the other
so otherwise it will be twisted.
So continue going around the loom, one peg at a time
and do not thick nip these over and I'll meet you up
for the bind off.
So before you get too far, lifting all of these over,
be sure and cut your yarn that you're not using anymore
so just cut out a nice length and I would measure out
to about this first leg here so this is where
your starter peg is.
Go about this first leg, measure that yarn out,
and cut the length.
And then just lay that on inside and then that
is going to get, that is going to get lifted over now
when you lift your loops up and over it will get trapped
inside and then you don't need to weave in that tail
so that makes that part very simple.
So go ahead and continue lifting all of those pegs over.
Pause your video and I'll see you soon when that's done.
So to bind off, I've already put my second color
and I've laid it inside and cut that off
and I've moved all of my inside circle loops
to the outside circle and now I'm going to push these down
and then I'm going to kit the first peg.
So bring my yarn around, loosely make a unit,
move the top loop over, and then this second loop over.
You can bring them over at the same time if you'd like.
Make sure and give it a little tug to make that nice
and loose.
We're going to move on to the next one.
So that is peg, we're going to call this peg one
and this peg two so move over and work peg two,
knitting these loops both of them over.
Okay, then we're going to move two to one
and we're going to u-knit loosely so u-knit that,
two over one again so this is now my peg one
and I'm going to all this, we're going to skip
this middle one and this is my peg two.
This is the step that is going to be repeating
here throughout.
Now that we've done this first one, we're going to continue
in this direction.
You're going to knit peg two loosely all the way,
move it over to peg one.
You see how it's creating some extra length here?
That's good, that's why we have this peg that
is skipped here.
We want to knit peg one.
Now we're going to move peg one over so that we continue
with a one peg gap.
That's going to give us that extra room.
If you want to get rid of this extra bulk
that is created, just go ahead and tug on your work
down below.
I'm going to move my yarn to the back here.
This empty peg and we're moving on to peg two
so we have our new peg two.
We're going to knit that.
Move it to peg one.
Knit that.
Move it over one maintaining that space.
We'll do it one more time and then you'll pause
your video.
Knit peg two.
Two over one.
Move two to one.
Knit peg one.
We're wrapping and knitting.
Move peg one over one.
Okay, make sure and don't pull too tight.
I keep wanting to pull it tight cause it's a habit.
If we don't pull it tight, we'll impede that stretchiness.
We're trying to get it stretchy like down at the bottom
is going to be.
So continue doing this all the way around.
I'll meet you back up at this very last peg
that you get to.
See you soon.
